Top of the list = bright, bold, large = important, urgent, active, current, etc.
Further down = getting stale, ready for dismissal, ready to drop/delete
Sometimes I've wished OneNote could colorize my tasks, pages, and projects like this, using criteria based on (1) when it was last actioned, or (2) tickler date.
When it was last actioned == what section it's on. Tickler dates I have typed in front of the item on the tickler tab, and the items are sorted by date. So I see little use for coloring. Sometimes I will indent a note just to change it's shade.
Well, it's easy enough to move your current project page to the top (or folder to the left) in OneNote and make a rule that you work from the top or left. (or bottom or right). This will self organise in exactly the way recommended by Mark for general working filing.
